Ok so we now all know big red is getting a service and a lot of it is pre-emptive strikes or what I call insurance replacements.

Given the number of trips that leave the brissy area I have an idea... bare with me..

A lot of you know that I pack a lot when I travel.. I now have a bunch of spare parts that will go into a box and sit in one of my hideyholes around the place till I go on a big trip and think "hrmmm might need them" (ok thats likely to be next week when I goto aldi :) )

MY question

Is anyone interested in having access to the box o bits that I pull off after my service as an emergancy parts pack?

It will likely contain

all the defender intercooler hoses
a rocker gasket
a cleaned out and resealed injector harness
all the cooling system hoses (includes the heater)
serpentine belt
idler pully
tensioner
set of hub bearings
misc nuts bolts and studs.

Sounds like a great idea Dave... and then those that borrow your kit for a trip away can obviously replace what they use.

pahh its old second hand stuff. its there to get you out of trouble till you get a new bit. If its ok when you get the new bit back in the box it goes.

Shouldn't that be in the thread about the trip to River Island? :D

But back on subject, I keep my old bits for emergency spares so it sounds like a good idea.

it is a good idea Dave,,
nice show of AULRO spirit;)

I chuck nothing out regardless of how knackered it is coz u never know when u may need it, I would have thought a spares kit in any Landy was a good idea, my spares package would need its own trailer!

Mine does and a shed, and a garage, and 4 boxes out in the yard... and some shelf space at work... and a second vehicle............... oh yeah and another trailer at work....

:)

I could almost build a rover from the ground up if someone donated a good chassis and firewall
